Kathy Griffin sticks to COVID-19 angle despite being sent home from hospitalwith abdominal infection

Comedian Kathy Griffin continued to dramatize her stint at a hospital coronavirus isolation ward despite being sent home with an abdominal infection.
Griffin bashed the Trump administration when she revealed she was in a hospital Wednesday but could not get tested for COVID-19 “because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions.” Though the 59-year-old entertainer showed none of the coronavirus symptoms and was sent home with a different diagnosis, she took to Twitter to claim she “still has no idea” whether she tested positive or negative for the virus.
In a series of tweets Thursday, Griffin quoted from a Los Angeles Times article on her experience,

Poor little D-list drama queen is making a big stink and blaming President Trump because she couldn't get a coronavirus test without symptoms. She did, however, test positive for Stage-4 TDS and chronic stupidity!!

This woman is obviously in need of a mental evaluation. Moreover, we don't need to hear about her ravings and rantings every time she opens her demented mouth! Enough of this foolish and mentally impaired woman!

Kathy, all you need is a couple of shots of penicillin and have your partner use a condom for the next six weeks and your dose of whatever STD you picked up by licking that toilet seat will be well behind you in your rear view mirror.

So . . . she's not even having upper-respiratory issues, but she's sure she has CV, and it's ALL Trump's fault. Did I get that right?
I'd hate to be her doctor or nurse. I bet she's a really HUGE PITA towards them.

Kathy: I fell on my head and fractured my skull. Can I be tested for COVID-19?
Doctor: We don't test head trauma cases for COVID-19. We are sending you for an x-ray.
Kathy: It's all Trump's fault!
Doctor: The x-ray shows that you don't have to worry about brain damage because you don't have one.

2020 Democrat front runner Joe Biden held a Coronavirus town hall with nurses, firefighters and emergency medical technicians.
Biden advertised his Coronavirus livestream to his 4.62 million Twitter followers. [Tweet]
But only 632 people tuned in to watch Sleepy Joe on YouTube. [Tweets]
Let’s take a look at President Trump’s ratings for a little comparison.
The Fox News special with President Trump and members of his Coronavirus task force on Tuesday was the highest rated town hall in the history of cable news.
The virtual town hall had 4,409,000 viewers between 12:00 and 2:00 p.m.

After 9/11 there was much talk of the “death of irony,” along with calls for mandatory national service and widespread support for the idea that it was time to put away childish things. Then Rudy Giuliani went on “Saturday Night Live,” Lorne Michaels asked him, “Can we be funny?” And Giuliani said, “Why start now?” The relief-laugh that followed this impeccably delivered punchline set the stage for a return to normalcy. We could be silly again. We all went to see “Zoolander.”
The coronavirus has already caused far more disruption than 9/11, and figures to take far more lives, albeit in slo-mo rather than on one fireball-strewn morning.

Former Vice President Joe Biden almost offered his phone number out on live television Friday.
In an emotional coronavirus-related question, Biden urged Americans to call loved ones and people they knew to help get through times of grief.
“My message is, God loves you. You know, I’ve lost a couple of children. I’ve lost a wife. And it is incredibly difficult to go through. And it’s harder to go through when you haven’t had an opportunity to be with the person while they’re dying,” Biden said, briefly choking up during a CNN town hall.
“Seek help afterward. Seek help. Talk to people who have been through it so they know,

Any New Yorkers in there?
Rhode Island plans to send the National Guard out to knock door-to-door in an attempt to hunt down anyone who has arrived in the tiny state from New York City during the coronavirus pandemic. State police, meanwhile, have begun pulling over cars with New York state plates.
Gov. Gina Raimondo said anyone traveling there from New York will be ordered to undergo a 14-day quarantine and could face fines or even jail time if they’re found to not comply.
“Right now we have a pinpointed risk,” Raimondo said at a news conference Friday. “That risk is called New York City.”

As businesses nationwide struggle to survive amid the growing coronavirus pandemic, drive-in theaters in Florida are thriving.
At the Ocala Drive-In, owner John Watzke said moviegoers are packing the lots in front of his two 90-foot screens as if every weeknight has become a Friday or Saturday evening.
“For this time of year, business is over double what it normally is,” Watzke told The Post Friday. “Right now, almost every night is the equivalent of a weekend here. We’ve had a very large increase in attendance because it’s such a safe place to go.”
Cars at the drive-in are now placed up to 12 feet apart to assuage any coronavirus concerns —

An entire train in greater Boston’s public transit system was pulled from service because a rider licked a car amid the coronavirus pandemic, transit officials said.
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority took a southbound Orange Line train out of service early Friday in an “abundance of caution” after a passenger spotted someone allegedly licking a train at Tufts Medical Center Station in Boston, spokeswoman Lisa Battiston said.
“Transit Police were notified of the alleged incident,” Battiston wrote in an email.
The disturbing report comes after Tufts Medical Center revealed that as of Thursday afternoon, 52 employees had tested positive for COVID-19, according to CNN.

Revolting video captured by a doorbell camera has caught an Amazon deliveryman apparently spitting on a package on the customer’s front porch and using his hand to smear his saliva.
“I received the box and saw a big wet spot and then checked the camera!” the horrified resident, Marcus Martinez, wrote on Twitter.
The disgusting incident amid the coronavirus pandemic occurred Thursday evening in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
The footage shows the man, who is wearing a vest with the Amazon logo on the back, leaning over to spit on the package and then wiping it with his hand

It has been a very long time since Americans last saw such a clear distinction between the considerable leadership qualities of their president, and the shameless political maneuverings of an opposition party constantly lusting for power. Let us review exactly what has happened in this country over the past two months, vis-a-vis the coronavirus pandemic.
On January 29, President Donald Trump created a White House Coronavirus Task Force to coordinate the federal government's response to the virus outbreak and to keep the American people as informed about it as possible.
At that time, you might recall, congressional Democrats were giving precisely ZERO attention to the coronavirus threat.

For a host of reasons, not the least of which being newly reported details of an alleged sexual assault, a social media campaign has emerged to remind Joe Biden that his time is up.
The hashtag #TimesUpBiden began trending online after a former staffer accused then-Sen. Biden of forcibly penetrating her against her will with his fingers in 1993.
As BizPac Review reported, Tara Reade accused Biden of inappropriate touching last spring, and she just admitted to Rolling Stone magazine that the 2020 Democratic front-runner’s behavior extended way beyond just mere touching.
“I was wearing a blouse, and he just had me up against the wall, and the wall was cold,” Reade said.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reportedly plans to launch multiple investigations into the Trump administration’s coronavirus response, in part because of another whistleblower complaint.
“A spokesperson for the HHS inspector general [said] that investigators will carry out at least five reviews ‘related to HHS’s planning and response of the COVID-19 outbreak,'” the Washington Examiner reported Wednesday.
“The inquiries will scrutinize issues such as nationwide hospital responses, quarantine procedures, the training and protective gear provided to front-line health workers, nursing home standards amid a disease with an exponentially more deadly effect on the elderly and the already ill,

After a shocking turnaround in his campaign — he was nearly left for dead after his crushing defeat in New Hampshire, only to become the presumptive nominee after Super Tuesday — Joe Biden was ready to pivot to a general election campaign against President Trump. But then the coronavirus hit the United States, and the ex-veep’s campaign has struggled mightily to deal with the political fallout. Trump has dominated the news cycles over the last three weeks, and his administration has been a whirling dervish of activity. He and his team offer daily reports about N95 masks secured, ventilators procured, production capacities increased,

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was blasted on social media Friday for her swipe against President Trump amid the growing coronavirus outbreak within the U.S.
Since the availability of testing kits has broadened in recent days, the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. has skyrocketed. On Thursday, the U.S. has reportedly outpaced both China and Italy with more than 97,000 reported cases.
Clinton took the latest developments as an opportunity to knock her former 2016 rival on Twitter.
"He did promise 'America First,'" Clinton wrote, referring to one of the president's oft-repeated campaign slogans.

The reeling US newspaper industry will be eligible to tap a portion of the $2 trillion stimulus package that contains $349 billion earmarked for small businesses. But the potential rescue package comes too late to help dozens of newsrooms that have been slashing jobs as shuttered local businesses stop advertising. News advertising has plummeted between 20 and 30 percent in the past two weeks compared to a year ago, according to the International News Media Association. The Washingtonian stopped using freelancers, laid off all its fellows and instituted a 10 percent pay cut for surviving staffers.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly left Canada for good to set up a permanent home in Los Angeles - and it's likely affluent Malibu is top of their list.
Last night a royal insider claimed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to leave Vancouver Island - where they have been staying since announcing they were stepping down as senior royals in January - amid fears the US-Canada border could close due to coronavirus.
The Sussexes want to be close to 'their new team of Hollywood agents and PRs' as well as Meghan's friends and mother Doria, the source told The Sun. They are now believed to be in lockdown

Governor Gretchen Whitmer from the Michigan Directorate has threatened to turn the eye of the state upon any doctor or pharmacist who would attempt to prescribe chloroquine to treat their patients suffering from coronavirus. Medical licenses may need to be revoked.
The agency’s March 24 letter warns physicians and pharmacists of professional consequences for the prescribing of hydroxychloroquine (and chloroquine). Beyond the rational recommendation against hoarding, the letter includes threats of “administrative action” against the licenses of doctors that prescribe hydroxychloroquine.

Meghan Markle and hubby Prince Harry weren't as sour about sharing a country with President Trump as we last heard from Meghan.
According to Page Six at the New York Post:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have fled coronavirus in Canada to set up a permanent home in California, taking a private jet to Los Angeles, a source confirmed to Page Six.
The couple, with their 10-month-old baby, Archie, took a secret flight to the LA area, leaving their recent bolthole on Vancouver Island after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the country's borders were closing last week.

Illegal aliens are demanding they too receive $1,200 in federal checks from the government as part of a Chinese coronavirus crisis relief package.
Open borders organizations like the George Soros-funded United We Dream, the National Immigrant Justice Center, and the National Immigration Law Center — all of which represent the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States — are pleading with the federal government to cut federal checks to illegal aliens who have Individual Tax Identification Number (ITINs).

Many New Yorkers say they are miffed at being treated as the poster children of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak, unwelcome in some states even if they are symptom-free. This week, Rhode Island, Florida and West Virginia appeared to roll up the welcome mats to residents of the Empire State. Rhode Island went as far as to post state troopers at its border to stop cars with New York license plates, requiring occupants to go into quarantine if they intend to stay. "How is this fair?" said Michelle Chu, 44, a graphics producer who lives Manhattan. "I mean, this thing is

The Detroit News’ Kathy Hoekstra reports that Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) has sent a letter to all physicians and pharmacists in the state warning of “professional consequences” if they prescribe or dispense hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine to treat coronavirus patients. Hoekstra writes that “beyond the rational recommendation against hoarding as production of this medication needs to be ramped up, the letter deviates into open threats (snip)

New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading a coalition to stop Texas from blocking abortions during the coronavirus pandemic, her office announced Friday. Earlier this week, Texas issued a directive banning all non-emergency surgeries and procedures, including abortions, to free up resources. “Texas and other states are using the coronavirus as an excuse to deny women their constitutional right to an abortion,” James said in a statement. “This is a full-on assault on women’s reproductive rights not only in Texas, but across the country, and I will not allow any state to usurp the rights of women enshrined in the Constitution.”

The coronavirus is likely to kill more than 81,000 people in the US over the next four months — but the death toll could be twice that if precautions like social distancing are relaxed too soon, according to an alarming new study. Deaths from the contagion are largely expected to peak in the second week of April — later in states where the spread (Snip) an analysis by the University of Washington School of Medicine forecasts.The final death toll is unlikely to be less than 38,000 nationally and could be as high as 162,000 — with the team predicting the most likely number to be 81,114 deaths.

I have updated this chart a number of times, based on data from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, and will continue to do so. It shows, for one thing, how far COVID-19 has to go before it equals the average seasonal flu mortality, worldwide. If I had to predict, I would guess that it will eventually reach the average level. Will it get to 2x the average number of flu deaths, worldwide? Looking at current trends, I don’t see how that will happen. But time will tell.
Likewise in the U.S. You still can’t see the bar for COVID-19,
